California 20 million electric cars. Annual average mileage data taken fro state online sources. Mileage based on various online estimates. Remember these are ROUGH figures. 4.5 hours worth of crunching.
To dedicate power to this number of electric cars and trucks will take the equivalent of the total capacity of 3.43 Hoover Dams generators.
Amortizations have to be made to homogenize this figure into current electrical production.
One thing is clear to me. California emerged from rolling blackouts SOLELY BECAUSE of millions of solar panels. The state does not have a big surplus of energy.
Food for thought. Sore fingertips :)
I brought this overreaching issue up awhile back and was recklessly ridiculed to be a ‘troll’ by a fellow member in a blind at any cost defense of EV’s....I thoroughly agree (as always in the past) that the issue is strictly about the electrical grid, NOT EV’s, (in fact I have past complimented EV’s as a engineering marvel) yet to be accused equates to guilt...Good Luck to you Sir .....
